Home Invasion in my Neighborhood

[CS1983]

I usually grab my 43 and stick it in my pocket of the hoodie vest I am usually wearing. Lurve that little gun.

[Skip]

Sounds like you handled it well!

I do not believe the girl had been pepper sprayed, but rather what they had been involved in some form of illegal activity, knew the Police were on the way and wanted to get off of the street.

Lady is distress is common tactic to gain entry too. A woman is less threatening and a lot of people will throw open their door trying to help. Bad guy can be waiting around a corner or behind a car. Only takes a second for him to run into the house with an accomplice in the doorway.

You probably knew this but worth considering.

There's just no way of knowing what someone is up. Better to be safe and advising them to call 911 was the right thing to do if they were legitimately in need of help.

Bad guys have all damn day to sit around and think of ways to harm people while the good guys are busy at work paying their taxes.

Our house will hopefully close on the 24th. And we will walk away with some equity in our pockets and little to no debt. I do feel bad for the new owners though.

Glad you are getting out of there. Thats wild.

[Irving]

You did exactly what I did. Except calling 911 for being pepper sprayed is bullshit.

I've had a similar situation and producing a firearm while stating "I think you have the wrong house," has immediate and desirable effects.

EDIT: I'll text you tonight about meeting up.

Outstanding!

Still trying to convince the wife that not owning a two of each of the following; BCM Middy 14.5" Carbine, PEQ/ATPIAL or the new MAW-L, a M600 Surefire, and a PVS14 is a different and worse kind of debt to have.

I found that having my S&W 686 in hand and asking "Can I help you?" has about the same effect.

I'm with TFOGGER. I live in a quiet neighborhood and either don't answer the door at all or answer it armed.

If I answer the door at all . . . it's usually with my 100 lb German Shepherd by the collar with one hand. Tends to get the visitors' attention.

"Could you shut that dog up so I can sell you some magazine subscriptions?!"

Like that?
